HISTORY ON MAPS: CONSTRUCTING THE IMAGES OF THE PAST ON HISTORICAL MAPS IN HISTORY TEXTBOOKS

Dominik Karić ; Zagreb

Abstract

Historical maps are an important element in the presentation and processing of history curriculum. This paper investigates how and in what way historical maps in history textbooks influence the construction of images of the past. The research is based on elementary school history textbooks that were approved for use in all grades from the 5th to the 8th in the academic year 2017/2018 in Croatia. The analysed maps are broken down into basic elements, which are then put together as a mosaic of their interpretation, presenting the answer to the fundamental research question.
